An NFL scout said Auburn DT Angelo Blackson is one of his early breakout players nationally.

The scout visited the campuses of Alabama and Auburn and issued the following warning to the Crimson Tide: "They better watch out, because Auburn is coming." He believes The Tigers have more NFL prospects on defense than Alabama. "It really shocks me," the scout said. "Alabama’s not there yet defensively. If you want to play bully ball and smack heads with them, you’re probably going to be in trouble. But when those guys get in space, it seems like they’re heavy-legged. You’ve seen it against Auburn and Oklahoma. When they play a fast team that’s good in space, they struggle." Blackson was named the nation's No. 31 DT and the No. 2 player from the state of Delaware by Rivals.com back in 2011. Auburn got itself a steal from the Blue Hen State.

I want to see Blackson get to the QB more. He has played ok for the most part.

No problem with anyone having an opinion. But I reserve the right not to look out.

Great analysis by a guy that can't even put his name to it. I'm sold.

Meh.


Let's see it on the field. As far as Auburn's defense goes, I haven't seen them play good defense in almost a decade.

Alabama clearly doesnt have the elite senior or junior prospects on defense they have had in the past. Trey DePriest is decent, but he is not CJ Mosley, Rolando McClain, or Donte Hightower. The only junior or senior NFL prospect Alabama has in their secondary is Landon Collins. The same thing applies to the defensive line. Not many juniors or seniors who will be high draft picks. In fact there are probably no juniors and seniors on Alabama's defensive line who will be drafted highly

I feel so sad for AU fans that can't even enjoy being an Auburn fan without constantly worrying about Bama.

A lot of "auburn fans" I know are just Bama anti-fans who follow Bama hoping for a loss instead of a win.

Heard a guy on the Tide and Tigers show (that comes on during Saturday mornings) really giving it to Reuben Foster. He basically said that he should change positions and play fullback for Alabama, because he doesn't have the hips or fluidity for linebacker.

However, Alabama does have some studs on the defensive line.
